 Burial plans for Hollywood icons Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher were revealed, according to a report from Entertainment Tonight.

Fisher has been cremated and some of her ashes were buried next to her mother, Reynolds at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in L.A.

 A private memorial service for Reynolds and Fisher was held yesterday, January 5, but a public memorial will take place in a few months with celebrities like Tom Hanks, Fisher’s ex-husband, Paul Simon and Meryl Streep paying their respects and honoring the legendary duo.

On Friday, December 23, Fisher went into cardiac arrest about 15 minutes before landing on a flight from London to Los Angeles. Once on the ground, an unresponsive Fisher was taken to UCLA Medical Center and placed on a ventilator. She passed away the following Tuesday.

Her mother, Reynolds suffered a stroke the following day and also passed. Fisher’s brother, Todd told TMZ that Reynolds’ final words were: “I miss her so much, I want to be with Carrie.”

The Great White Way paid tribute to Fisher and Reynolds tonight. Broadway theaters dimmed their marquees  at 7:45 PM for one minute in honor of the actresses. They made their Broadway debut together in the 1973 revival of the musical Irene.
